Guest Thomas Didymuz Toh Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 On Grindr this morning, met up with a army guy, he was very horny and wanted to meet up at my place in the afternoon. when we met, he kept complimenting me for my smooth fair delicate complexion and wanted to eat my hole immediately. We immediately showered together and he fingered my hole while soaping me up. He commented that my hole was very tight, and immediately after drying up, he pushed me onto my bed and lifted my legs onto his shoulders while licking and rimming my hole and playing with my weakest spot - my ringed nipples! The sensation was too much to bear, and I was moaning away loudly, which made him very horny! He straightaway parted my cheeks with his 8 incher, pumping away rapidly while scolding me in Hokkien and slapped me a few times on my butt cheeks and face! Never felt so Humiliated, but I enjoyed it quite a lot especially when he shoot his hot man cream all over my face and demanded that I scoop it up to eat it! Enjoyable Sunday noon!

Guest Responder Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 I m someone who is using Grindr about 5 years now. I never blocked anyone so far. I reply to every message. Taps I often oversee. Grindr in Singapore is one of the rudest place in my experience. You manage to get blocked with no apparent reason. The level of being ignored is outstanding. I try to behave on Grindr as in real life. I will reject people “nicely “ Often I will just use: “I m not sure if it will work out. “ Those persistent sour grapes I would respond once something sort of: “It doesn’t help us if we put us in an awkward situation or does it?” If they continue I will say “sorry “. mostly this is the end. if the other asks 500 non sex related questions, I will ask him “to write up a questionnaire”. I stopped sending nudes or dick pics. Those persistent dick pick collectors I will tell them to try Twitter. Often when I am “ironic” I can sense I m going to be blocked. I don’t have bad feelings. I find this keeping quiet habit in Singapore a bit silly. Those who can’t handle a rejection are just a few. Keeping ignored or immediately blocked could have adverse factors for the other one, I don’t want to hurt people I don’t know. In the sauna you get rejected too, so why behave differently on Grindr. Ignoring people or this Singaporean blocking culture creates only more of those app bastards. I don’t want to contribute on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I told someone "sorry but you're not really my type" and then he said I was stuck up etc etc But then again.. to just block someone is also a bit rude right? How ah? Expand Just wanna share my point of view about this app. First of all i only started using Grindr 2-3 yrs back (on and off) and now i deleted the app already. But where are the veteran gay guys out there who remember back in those days, we have the Trevvy IRC chatroom hahah (those were the days aye). Back then chatrooms were more fun. Because we do not have the function of blocking or any of those. We chatted with the ppl base on their usernames, their intro and what they seeking at the main page and we basically go to the chatroom knowing what we want (w/o the first judgement of having profile pics). So it was totally a different vibe back then and hooking up and chatting was very fun hahah I personally feel this app is really purely for hooking up that’s all (unless really if you’re lucky, you may find someone there u really like hehe. That’s vvvvvv rare). If people put that in their head then i think, there won’t be any of these probs. I don’t block people but when using the app i really come across some weird people that just scares me. In those situations if i feel uncomfortable, then i will block. Just rmb to use the app safely and don’t take everything so seriously or to the heart really. Cheers! 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singalion Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) Grindr. ok. I draw a line at the age of 25 years. Those being below this age I forgive certain bad habits. But those being above 25 years I won't. I don't like these with the attitude: The others on grindr are so bad, then I will be nasty too. You will only increase the ugliness of the people in the app with any such behaviour. Always try to be friendly and always pretend the other is just next to you like in person. The main problems with people on grindr I have are: 1) People don't understand grindr is for self presentation. I can't follow why people don't enter the basic details into the profile. Recently, you can see emptier and emptier profiles. Just a profile name and that's it. Then people complain they receive approaches from guys, they think are not their match. If you disclose so little about yourself, then what do you expect. Anyone will reply to your profile... The details are meant for filters. Others can pre-filter if they match or not. How to tell others who you are and what you are on the app, if you tell nothing about you? Second, you need to go through basic questions over and over again. Tiring. 2) Be clear from start what you seek. Many profiles lack a description what they are for in the app. Relationship? Just chit chat? Sex? I m not sure if they maybe don't know themselves why they register at the app or for what reason they are on the app. But it would make the life of others easier if you told us what you are looking for. Or at least tell us what you are not looking for. 3) negative profiles Plenty of guys project their negative experiences on grindr into their profile description. It can be quite amusing to read all these "Don't this, Don't that" profiles. And I m not even talking about the NPNC (No pic no chat) policy. At the end? You know nothing about the person himself but just his "dislikes". Do you think it will leave a good feeling or make a good start? Do you really think this increases your chances to meet the guy you seek? Worse are those who threaten to directly block you if you violate any of their rules. "Ask for face pic, direct block". ha ha. Thanks for amusing us. But guys have you heard of self marketing? What is the takeaway? You are toxic or simply run by negativity? Why don't just write what you seek? Do a positive write up. 4) Avoiders or Interrogation type One of my favourites to chat are these who will drag along on simple dating questions or to whom the question whether "Top or Btm" seems already an offence or reason for a direct block. It is the same for those hiding behind these "What do you seek? Response: "Fun" type of conversations. Did it ever come to your mind, my idea of fun might be different from yours? I have fun splashing with water in the sea. Yes! Some have really difficulties to tell you what "fun" is for them or to simply describe what sexual pleasures you are seeking. Or even worse on looks: "I m looking for the same like me". I don't know you, so what would be the same? The other type is guys who always ask you questions but fail to respond any single question you raised. And it goes on and on. You end up having this "police investigation" type of situation but don't know where it is heading to. I wonder if they have some sort of sketch book with a list of questions and tick off the responses while chatting with you? But in the end? You don't even know whether they have a dick because they never responded any of your own questions. Same goes for those avoiding to respond on the age. Nah, if someone can't even tell me his fake age, then there might be a problem. 5) What can be annoying are those grindr guys who seem just about to come during the chat. You can sense a sort of rush. The responses are short. Replies or questions come within seconds. Sure there are time wasters. Probably we all are guilty of being time waters on certain times. But some turn out sending you immediately those question marks ("???") if you fail to instantly reply to them. And I m not talking about 2 mins but 2 seconds. As if every second is relevant. As if you have a duty to respond instantly, as if you have nothing else to do, as if it might be inconvenient chatting on grindr like in a business meeting, conference call or inside a packed MRT train. Look, if you have a short time window for fun, it's your problem, but please don't expect others to be at your service on the spot. And for sure it doesn't mean we are not interested. We might be in a situation where responding is an issue. If you rush through a chat like that, would you then rush through the action too? If you display your impatience, what if we meet? 6) Most recently, there seems to be this new culture of guys setting up a profile, but deleting the profile after a chat (or meet up with someone?) but 2 or 3 days later a new profile reappears mostly with the same profile picture or content. What is the purpose? If the sex appeal of your profile wasn't what you expected and you didn't get the amount of contacts you wanted, will you increase it by creating new profiles every day? Wouldn't it be better to work on your profile and check what causes the problem for not getting the sex you are looking for? I fail to understand for what purpose you delete your profile and create new ones every third day (or less)? Plus you reduce your chances of filtering out those profiles who are not your main interest, because your chat history would be gone after the grindr app deletion. And you cause the bulk of guys approaching you again (if your pic is not on the new profile) and going through the same trouble of time consuming chats with people you never wanted to meet. I don't know what the main purpose for those guys are creating new profiles every 3 days... Edited August 12, 2020 by singalion ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonely57 Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 I'm the fool that's lurking around Grindr looking for connections. But all I get are uncles who don't read my profile and ask for sex. When I tell them I'm not looking for sex they go like ok let's chat. One or two lines later they just vanish. Also I notice lately a lot will ask if u are working from home. It's like as if I'm so free while working from home to host like that.

And then Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 I am not sure whether this is a new thing, cos usually I log on for short periods of time (<1 h), then log off. Few days ago, I remained logged on the whole day, and when I checked with another phone/account, I couldn't find my profile on the grid at all. It was only when I actually open the app, that my profile appears again on the grid. Seems weird to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse, he got hygiene issues. (Bad breath and BO). This is even after showering and making him take a mouthwash. How do handle this scenario and how to avoid? Thanks! Expand Not sure on your age. But if you are not a youngster, then you should have learned there is no obligation to indulge with someone who does not fit your "requirements" or when the sex turns out to be more of a torture and not pleasure. You are not required to entertain someone if he just doesn't turn you on. Unless, you are so damn horny and stick a laundry clip hanger on your nose and have fun with the guy, but then don't regret later. What I do is (because I try to be a nice person): I will message him later and just tell him, he should work on his breath and body odour, the latter might be related to food intake). Some guys will even respond with a thank you. There is something you can do. I knew one guy who often had a bad breath and after making him aware, he changed his diet and I did not encounter the issue any longer. How can it be avoided?: Probably can't be avoided because grindr doesn't have a smell function and there is no thumb up or thumb down function. Still better than being totally catfished... On the "tuned" picture. If those guys don't send me something natural picture if I asked for it 3 times, but always those "edited" stuff, then I just don't take a risk and decline to meet up. I don't mind someone who might have an acne issue but if he can't send you some sort of realistic picture of himself, then hm, better give it a "no". How to handle the situation: If you are already nude and next to him, just get up in a rush, go out the room grab your phone and ask a good friend to call you immediately: go back to the room where the unpleasant guy is sitting and wait for the phone to ring. If you are lucky you may have a second phone and can call yourself. Call loud "Now?" Are you serious". Go back to the room and tell the guy, you need to rush to your office because there is an emergency (On weekends you can switch to another reason: like your mother having a car accident, sister broke ankle, ...) But don't put up too much drama because you might end up in this thread being described as the grindr drama boy. If you want to be truthful, then just stop any action and tell the guy, you just can't get turned on (hopefully your tool is soft then). Probably I would not share the reason directly. If he insists, just say, "don't know maybe overworked or too tired". But as I said, I would send a message after some time on grindr. If you already had done sex with the guy, take a good shower with some very fragrant shower gel, wash your tool with dettol and chew daily 3 or 5 Hacks mint lozenges the next three days... (no prescription required for above formula)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I do let people know if they smell unpleasant, upfront.. then suggest solution (showering, mouthwash). I also will put emphasis and ensure they understand that it is nothing personal, all professional. That, or I’ll just pass them the (spray/ spare) deodorant without a word. They would probably catch the hint by then. But if they STILL smell like fish vomit after we tried fixing, I would call it off, regardless the means.

Photograph: Aly Song/Reuters Mark Sweney Tue 10 May 2022 12.06 BSTLast modified on Wed 11 May 2022 05.08 BST Grindr plans to float through a merger with a so-called Spac investment company in a deal that values the gay dating app at $2.1bn (£1.7bn). The app will receive $384m as part of the deal with Tiga Acquisition Corp (TAC), the Singapore-based special purpose acquisition company (Spac) – also known as a “blank cheque” shell company that raises money first and seeks businesses to buy later. Grindr, which launched in 2009 and specialises in dating among the LGBTQ+ community, had 10.8 million monthly active users last year. Of these 723,000 paid for one of its subscription services, called Xtra and Unlimited, with paying users up 31% over 2020. The average amount of time users spend on the app each day hit 61 minutes in December and 80% of profiles on Grindr are 35 years old or younger – with just 11% aged 41 or older – according to the company’s investor presentation. The company’s revenues rose 30% last year to $147m – and it expects growth of between 35% and 40% this year – and made $77m in adjusted profits. The valuation is more than triple the $608m that owner San Vicente Acquisition paid for Grindr two years ago. Grindr said that as part of the deal, which will result in existing shareholders owning about 78% of the company, the chief executive, Jeff Bonforte, would step down. “It has been the longstanding goal of Grindr’s current ownership and management that Grindr be led by members of the LGBTQ+ community,” the company said in a statement announcing the deal. “Working together, Grindr’s board and management have identified and been in discussions with a potential new chief executive officer candidate who would bring a depth and breadth of experience across technology, finance, and management, including time spent in an executive leadership role at a public company.” Grindr, which is based in West Hollywood, California, and Tiga said the deal may require clearance from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which vets deals for potential national security risks. In 2019, CFIUS ordered the Chinese gaming company Kunlun Tech Co, then owner of Grindr, to sell the company over concerns that personal data of US users could be accessed and used by China’s government. The company sold Grindr a year later for $608m. The deal means Grindr will join the much larger $20bn Match group, which owns dating brands including Tinder and Hinge and has about 100 million users in total, and Bumble, which has about 40 million users, as publicly listed dating apps.

singalion Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) For Daddy lovers (haha). Grindr is the daddy of today’s dating apps – it wasn’t just about simpler hookups Justin Myers Thu 18 Aug 2022 LGBTQ+ people blazed a trail with swipe culture, which fulfils a genuine need for those who are less confident or conventional Disco. Brunch. Iced coffee. All beloved by the gay community way before they went mainstream. Similarly, no celebration of a decade of dating apps would be complete without acknowledging that the LGBTQ+ community ran to a different calendar there, too. The daddy of our contributions to now-ubiquitous swipe culture is the infamous Grindr, launched in 2009 and originally designed to coordinate hookups between likeminded gentlemen tired of chatting on glitchy websites or over discounted cocktails in samey bars. Grindr’s runaway success wasn’t just down to cutting out various dating-world middlemen, it also fulfilled a genuine need for the LGBTQ+ community. Marginalised people have always found sanctuary on the internet, scurrying to secluded corners to be better understood by those who shared their distinctive struggles, kinks or slightly nerdy hobbies; all things that might be mocked by the more conventionally attractive bantersauruses roaming our school corridors and haunting the chain pubs on our high streets. The walled gardens of early hookup apps also offered protection. There was no chance of barking up the wrong tree, or the immediate fear of physical violence. The rules of engagement were crystal clear and all but unspoken: the only prerequisite for entry was that you understood why you were there. In 2011, the founder of Grindr, Joel Simkhai, launched Blendr, to include women and straight men, beating all-in apps like Tinder by a full year. “Are there women out there who want to semi-randomly meet and hook up with guys just because those guys are good-looking and located close enough to them that it would be convenient to do so?” asked HuffPost, incredulously. Imagine! The answer was not really. Not yet. Although looking for sex on the internet wasn’t a new idea, Blendr distanced itself from its little yellow sibling and positioned itself as an app for “friendship”, confusing straight people more accustomed to making friends on social media rather than specialist apps. Tinder’s later success perhaps hinged on being more upfront about its romantic intentions. Either way, Blendr was soon hijacked by gay and bi men seeking … each other, with a veneer of respectability that Grindr’s reputation as a knocking shop didn’t offer. Complaining about the “state of the apps” is now a rite of passage for everyone, and LGBTQ+ users road-tested the uglier side of virtual interactions: from scolding each other for requesting nudes without a decent prelude; or imploring potential mates to “say more than just hi”; to enduring, then screenshotting and sharing, racism, fetishisation, fatphobia, transphobia and ageism, to name just a few. Calling out these behaviours may not have lasered them out of existence, but there’s been a definite shift toward kindness, and an understanding that noxious creeps won’t be tolerated. Nostalgic romantics will tell you pulling is best done in real life. A ritual meant to be performed in packs, where chemistry can brew and sparks can flare and any losers can be weeded out by your supporting crew. All well and good if you’re popular and live in a big city. Elsewhere, the LGBTQ+ scene is likely to be much reduced and underfunded, if it exists at all. Coming-of-age dramas are packed with brash, sprightly upstarts who jump on trains with all their belongings in a backpack, but for the shy and retiring, the financially stretched or those perfectly happy in the provinces, it’s not an option. The apps provided a space for those still curious about what was out there and who might struggle with the cut and thrust of IRL courtship rituals. Just as the squeakiest wheels always get the oil, the ripped torsos no doubt receive the most attention, but dating apps still forge communities among those who don’t fit that aesthetic, and they’ve been an important place for anyone struggling with their sexuality, or unable to live authentically publicly. Toxic arseholes aside, there has always been a sense that there’s someone out there for everyone and specialist apps carry a “take me as you find me” attitude that has perhaps been missing from real life interactions. Away from the sneers of peers, people were more willing to give each other a go. You could shoot your shot and, as long as you’d been respectful, hold your head high in the face of rejection. Listing your (harmless) likes and dislikes might seem cold and distant to a casual observer, but those who might otherwise have been ignored slowly managed to find each other. For lonely people, or those less able, less body confident, or less conventional, getting yourself in the room in the first place was always the hardest part. With dating apps, the room came to you – and so for once, you had the chance to own it. Edited August 19, 2022 by singalion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With dating apps, the room came to you – and so for once, you had the chance to own it. Expand The problem arises when there is a sort of monopoly. While I don't agree to all in the article above, there are some truths. Unfortunately, grindr has killed on the way some other apps that were more relevant into bonding, long term relationship search and non sexual gay searches or you can see a huge decline in the "usership" of these other apps around. The most surprising to me always was that grindr did not take much care to improve the app with features that are common for other apps. While from time to time grindr runs some feedback on what you would wish to change (it is listed somewhere on their website), nothing much so far has been implemented. The latest move of scaling down the profiles featured on the "New faces" seems to be not very persuasive also. I wonder how many sign up for the paid version?
